What can I do to avoid paying penalties for a car with expired registration that I purchased from a wholesaler who got it at auction?
How to Avoid Penalties for Cars with Expired Registration
If you have purchased a car from a wholesaler who acquired it at an auction and the vehicle has expired registration, it is important to take immediate action to avoid penalties. Follow these steps to ensure compliance:
Renew Vehicle Registration
Promptly renew the vehicle's registration by contacting your local Department of Motor Vehicles. They will provide you with specific instructions on how to proceed in this situation.
Vehicle Services
To prevent penalties for cars in your inventory with expired registration, utilize Vehicle Services. By posting fees through this service, you can stop the penalties and successfully renew the registration. You may also opt to have the registration card/sticker mailed directly to your dealership for easy application onto the vehicle.
Auto Calculation Option
If you choose not to use Auto Calc, manually enter only the penalty amounts into the system when processing renewal payments.
By following these guidelines and promptly addressing any issues related to expired registration on vehicles in your possession, you can avoid costly penalties and maintain compliance with regulations. Remember that staying proactive is key in ensuring smooth operations within your dealership or business.
